Award: Silver Medal at the Concours des Grands Vins de France in Mâcon
A red Anjou that offers notes of ripe black fruits on the nose, evolving into more complex hints of spice. The attack is velvety and silky, with aromas of ripe fruit (blackcurrant and prune) and well-integrated tannins... A seductive wine, a beautiful expression of the Loire Valley!

5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)
About the estate:
Built in the 15th century in the town of Rochefort-sur-Loire, this 23-hectare estate belongs to Alain Château’s Vignobles Germain et Associés group, as does Château Bellerive. Located in the Coteaux du Layon-Chaume appellation—which has just been designated “Chaume 1er Cru”—Alain Château enlisted Michel Doucet to craft the wines. After serving many different purposes over the years, the château is now a charming guesthouse, offering visitors a pleasant getaway in the region and the chance to taste fine Coteaux du Layon wines. The Chaume 1er Cru is a true masterpiece, with an intense and very rich body, as well as a subtle bitter note that lends it greater complexity and balance.
